FYI: being "first" have been passed already in many category. The trick is anytime something happens, Macalots will change the course to downplay its importance or even discredit the news - see last week's events.

And if anything happens, people like you will change the course to overplay its importance - see last week's event.
Last week's test was obviously worthless, as anyone with any knowledge of security will tell you. Why is it that some people hate a computer platform so much that they jump on any opportunity to try to mock and discredit it, even at the cost of supporting and backing erroneous claims?

It was downplayed for a reason, because the test was not exactly just. He was giving them shell accounts to begin with, meaning they were already inside the machine.

The real test, which was this one, is to not give anything to anyone, and let them break in.

The problem is when kids like you assume a lot but they actually just talking out of their bottom prts.

FYI: I do have a dual G5, a cool one with PCI-X slots and 8 memory slots.
bang, so much for your silly monologue...:p

You really didn't get my 'insinuation', did you?
My point was about the fact that nobody mentioned if a simple user account can be elevated to root then possibly anything with user credentials can get root too.

I dont even own a Mac, but I still recognize good design and give credit where credit is due. And if your posts made a little more sense, and weren't full of bashing maybe I wouldn't make assumptions like I did.

Keep in mind, bragging rights don't pay the bills. Why put all your effort into a no-rewards hacking competition?
